I normally just wash my face twice, rather than use makeup remover. However, in the past, I have used the MAC one, which I have found to be very good. This Neutrogena product was ok. It was great on foundation, but I found that while it took my eye makeup off, it really just smooshed it around - it doesn't come off cleanly. It also claims not to leave an oily feeling. I disagree...but it didn't bother me too much, as I always use a cleanser afterward anyway. I probably wouldn't buy it, but it was in arms reach when I was washing my face then I would.

Not bad
Tips: Definitely shake it (as per instructions) - It doesn't work very well if you don't!

Makeup remover
I used this product to remove my everyday makeup but as soon as I started wiping of my eye makeup my eyes started stinging, I carried on wiping it off thinking that I got some in my eyes and that it would pass but it didn't stop stinging until I used eye drops. I would recommend this product for use just on the face and not on eye makeup.
Tips: Don't use on eye makeup

Does the job
This product does exactly what is says it can remove the most stubborn mascara and water proof eyeliners. It is oily and leaves an oily residue doesn't help if U already have oily skin.

Oil-free but doesn't feel like it
This product says it's oil free, but it just doesn't feel like that. It definitely removes the eye makeup no problems, but it leaves an almost oily residue behind. This is great for use before you jump in the shower, as your shower routine would get off the residue. I just found it a little oily for me and I wouldn't use it again.

Oil free?????????
This is a good make up remover, however it leaves you feeling quite oily and gross. On closer inspection I realised that you are supposed to rinse your face after using this product,however I bought this product needing something to quickly remove my make up before bed. I'm not too sure if I'd repurchase as I have found a better, quicker and less oily remover
Tips: Rinse after use.

Not what I'm looking for
This does remove makeup but it doesn't remove waterproof mascara, I had to rub my eyes which I don't want to as it will cause more wrinkles. I've found something that really works from L'oreal so I will never go back to this one.
Tips: Use L'oreal Waterproof Makeup Remover for Eyes and Lips . It's amazing, it is comparable to Clinique Take the Day Off

Hmmmm
I personally found it left an oily residue behind even though it says oil free. I didn't like going to bed with that feeling so i was having to wash my eyes with water after. It does remove make up i must give it that. Just not suitble for me

Oil-Free???
I did enjoy this product - it removed most of my make-up without too much scrubbing. HOWEVER, I have extremely oily skin and so often go for oil-free products and this one HAD OIL IN IT. I could see the globules floating at the top of the liquid. Not very truthful, if you ask me. Luckily, I mainly used it for eyes, so the oil wasn't too much of an issue. But, come on, Neutrogena. Sort it out.

I have bought this product a couple of times, not because I love it, mostly because I am so undecided about it. I find I have to use a lot of the product to remove my eye make up, also the makeup pads soak up a lot. You definately need to place the make up pad over your eyes & hold for awhile then swipe gently. I have to use a combination of make up pads & cotton buds otherwise I wake up with panda eyes from remaining residue. I really like the texture of the remover, it feels very smooth & silky around the eye once the makeup has been removed, it doesn't sting at all which I am happy about as I have very sensitive eyes. I would prefer the bottle had a small dripper or cap where you could control the amount that was coming out, it would make it a lot easier to use. I think next time around I'll purchase another product to compare, it might help me to decide if this will be a future repurchase.
Tips: Rinse your eyes with warm water after use, as you might have a slight oily residue afterwards.
